Going down the rabbit hole that is YouTube, I channel hopped my way through some of my favorite creators and the other YouTubers that they collaborated with. Whilst admiring Mykie's work on her channel Glam & Gore, I was lead to the channel of Alexa Poletti, a cosplayer, makeup artist, and overall adorbs person! Her name sounded familiar but I couldn't quite remember why. I don't ever recall seeing her work before so I carried on and watched her collab videos with Mykie and then discovered her Zelda-themed episodes. It was then that I discovered this gem, Link (Legend of Zelda) Makeup Tutorial from 2014 and one of Alexa's older videos on her channel. I enjoyed watching the whole video, as I did with the rest of her work. As the video came to an end, there was something familiar that caught my eye...

Alexa - "Link (Legend of Zelda) Makeup Tutorial"

A Legend of Cosplay Blue Potion Bottle

It was one of my Blue Potion Bottles! Could it be a coincidence, though? I kept watching the end of her video.

A Legend of Cosplay Deluxe Wing Medium Fairy

It was one of my Deluxe Winged, Medium Fairies! Alex Poletti... the name suddenly made sense! She had placed an order for these back in the day and then used them in her video! It was such a fun treat to see them in the video so unexpectedly. It definitely makes me want to get back into crafting some more and getting new series, The Legend of Crafts, up and running soon! ♥

Comments: For the first time in a long time my schedule worked out in a way where I was unable to work Artist Alley at a convention, but I still was able to attend for at least one of the days. Since this changed my plans for Almacon 2018, I checked out the scheduled guests and saw that two voice actors from one of my favorite animes, Princess Jellyfish, were attending! I knew then and there it was time I had a new cosplay and Tsukimi and Clara immediately came to mind! I whipped up the mommy-son duo cosplays just in time. ♥ But alas, I never even got to meet either voice actor! TnT (Josh Grelle, the voice of Kuranosuke Koibuchi, was unable to attend because of lovely Michigan's snow storm, and Christopher Bevens, the voice of Yoshio Hanamori, was no-where in sight the day I attended.) All things considered I'm really happy with how these quick and comfortable cosplays turned out! (Plus, when JrTri4ce outgrows his Clara outfit I can easily convert her into a plushie! ♥
